ROBERT SOl-lLUll/IBERGER, OF ALLEGHENY, PENNSYLVANIA.

WATER-HEATER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 647,157, dated April 10, 1900.

Application filed June 28, 1899.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ROBERT SOHLUMBER- GER, a citizen of the United States'of America, residing at Allegheny, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Water-Heaters, of which the followingis a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in gas-burners, and relates more particularly to that class employed in connection with hot-water heaters.

The invention has for its object to provide a novel means whereby an equal distribution of gas is obtained; and it consists of a spider distributingpipe mounted upon suitable supports and connected to a gas-supply, a segmental gas-chamber supported by a series of vertical pipes which are secured to thespider, and a series of radially-extending burners connected to the inner face of the segmental gas-chamber.

The invention still further aims to construct a device of the above-described character that will be extremely simple in its construction, strong, durable, and highly efficient in its operation; furthermore, one that may be manufacturedat a comparatively small cost.

With the above and other objects in view the invention finally consists in the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claim.

In describing the invention in detail referonce is had to the accompanying drawings,

forming a part of this specification, wherein like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views thereof, and in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved stand equipped with my improvement. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view taken on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4c is a longitudinal sectional view taken on the line 4 4 of Fig. 1, showing the spider distributing supply-pipe. Fig. 5 is a similar view taken on the line 5 5 of Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is a longitudinal sectional view of the segmental gas-chamber. Fig. 7 is a vertical sectional View taken on the line 7 7 of Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawings by reference- Serial No. 722,124. (No model.)

numerals, 1 indicates suitable supports or standards, which are secured to the ends 2 of the spider distributing supply-pipe 3, said spider distributing supply-pipe 3 being provided centrally at its lower face with a gassupply pipe 4 and carrying near its outer *ends upwardly-extending pipes 5, which communicate with the same and form standard and feed-pipes for the segmental gas-chamber 6, the inner face of said segmental gas-chamber being provided with gas-burners 7, and

the upper face of said segmental gas-chamber carries a flange 8, extending radially in alinement therewith.

The reference-numeral 9 indicates the outer casing, the lower end of said casing being adapted to fit in the flange 8 of the segmental gas-chamber 6. A collar 10 is arranged in the lower part of the casing, the latter having formed therewith an inwardly-extending portion 11, which is slightly inclined downwardly and extends over the gas-burners a short distance, said inwardly-inclined portion being formed integral with upwardlyextending supports 12, uponwhich the water-coils rest. (The WtlIBFCOllS are not shown in the drawings.

Thl reference-numeral 13 indicates a drip ping-tray arranged above the spider distrib uting supply-pipe and directly below the inwardly-extending portion 11 of the collar 10, the bottom of said dripping-tray being inclined toward the center, said bottom having arranged therein a suitable outlet 14.

The operation of my improved gas-burner is as follows: Gas entering the spider distributing supply-pipe through the gas -snpply pipe 4 will be equally distributed through the upwardly-extending pipes 5 into the segmentalgas-chamber 6 and thence into the gasburners 7. The condensation of the water or moisture caused by the products of combustion of the burners which are condensed by contact with the coils will be conducted by the inclined portion 11 of the collar 10 into the driptray 13 and then through the outlet let into any suitable receptacle.

The inclined portion 11 of the collar 10, ex tending inwardly to a point beyond the gasburners will protect the same from moisture that would otherwise come in contact therewith.

ply pipe connected thereto, a series of upwardly-extending pipes secured to the said spider pipe, a segmental gas-chamber connected and supported by the said upwardlyextending pipes, and a series of radially-ere tending burners secured to the inner face of the said gas-chamber, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.

ROBERT SOHLUMBERGER.
